Or, flown beyond the roaring Zodiac,

Translatest thou the tale of earthly news

And earthly songs to singers of Altair?


DISSONANCE

The harsh, brief sob of broken horns; the sound

Of hammers, on some echoing sepulchre;

Lutes in a thunderstorm; a dulcimer

By sudden drums and clamouring bugles drowned;

Crackle of pearls, and gritting rubies, ground
